My MIL was shocked when she delivered her first and then they told her wait there is another one. This was at a time when u/s were only done in high risk but they always found only 1 hb so it is possible

I always hate hearing "they didn't know if it was mine" because in relativity if your heart was going as fast as the babies would be, youd be having some serious cheat pains. But if it's going as slow as yours should be, then it's obviously yours. LOL but it's possible. They should've done a portable US

I forgot to mention that you can hear the placenta and it could sound like a baby's heartbeat and sometimes you can hear an echo (what they thought with my mom), but you could have 2. When they thought they heard 2 they thought the baby had a heart mummur. They did an ultrasound and they found me hidding behind my brother. So my brother was the top and I was the bottom.

There was an article on cafemom a couple months ago where they kept finding babies. First ultrasound, 1 baby. 2nd ultrasound at 20 weeks, 2 babies. Did a 3rd ultrasound at 27 weeks (not sure what prompted it) and they found a 3rd baby!! I'd definitely be calling up the OB and asking for an ultrasound.

It may be easier to start at the beginning to answer all questions..lol..and thank you for the website. I will check it out!

I found out at 5 weeks HCG was 3842 Ultraound at 5 weeks showed a gestational sack but no fetal pole or heartbeat. Doc was concerned about a blighted ovum.

Viability Ultrasound at 8w4d HCG was over 24000 ( I can't remember exact now) Heart beat detected at 179 :)) Only one baby visible. I will upload pictures from u/s and see what you guys think..

NO other u/s performed. Both the ER and OB doctors were not worried about second HB. ( first 157 second 180 ) My OB looked at my U/S from 8 weeks again and concurred only ONE baby. I just don't get it. If my heart was going 157 bpm I would have had a heartattack!! Not the case. They have another U/S scheduled when I am 18-20 weeks. I will be 15 weeks tomorrow. They are refusing to do it sooner. I guess the doctor HAS to be right and I HAVE to be wrong. I have had dreams of twin girls before the second HB was heard..Twins run in my family and my fiancee's..My grandma had twin sisters and my fiancee's Aunt has twin boys..

Thanks for the suggestions and sorry this was so long. One last question, ladies who are expecting twins; What were your HCG levels early on?

Thanks again,Dani

Both those heartbeats seem like they would belong to a baby!! Is there a faculty in your area you can go to and pay out of pocket for an ultrasound? I remember someone posting about a place that would do that for around $40. That would be so incredible if you ended up with twin girls considering you dreamt about that. Keep us posted please!
